Here's the ultimate recipe 
to make your own
churros at home, 
just like they are made at
churrería stands.

to 360 degrees F.

To make churro dough,
heat water, margarine and salt
to rolling boil 
in 3-quart saucepan;
stir in flour. 
Stir vigorously over 
low heat until mixture 
forms a ball, 
about 1 minute; 
remove from heat. 
Beat eggs all at once; 
continue beating until smooth
and then add to saucepan 
while stirring mixture. 

Spoon mixture into 
cake decorators' tube

Squeeze 4-inch strips 
of dough into hot oil. 
Fry 3 or 4 strips at 
a time until golden brown, 
turning once, 
about 2 minutes on each side. 
Drain on paper towels.
Mix Sugar and cinnamon; 
roll churros in sugar mixture.
